Today’s Scripture
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
- 1 Peter 3:15-16
The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
-1 Timothy 1:5
May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
- Psalm 19:14
You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
- Psalm 139:1-2
Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
- Psalm 139:23-24
Discussion and Personal Application
Applying the scripture passages above, discuss the following questions as a group. Journaling can help make your learnings stick.
Who is someone in your life that you admire for their integrity? How would you describe that integrity? How did they impact you?
How would you define integrity? This week’s teaching discussed how we can compartmentalize parts of our lives—how is your life compartmentalized? What are ways you could better integrate these parts?
From the verses above, what are the benefits of integrity in our lives? What happens if we don’t act with integrity?
Review pages 16-17 of your Unshakeable Guide: "The Generosity Climb." Where would you ideally like to be on your generosity climb? In what ways could you grow in integrating your faith in God with your giving?
At this point on your journey, what does growing in generosity look like for you personally? How is God calling you to contribute?
Prayer
As we refresh our Unshakeable vision, pray that the Spirit of God will reveal the gaps between our beliefs and behavior. Pray that God will grow us to be pleasing to Him on the inside and outside. And pray that our church will be a place that exhibits the love of Jesus to the world around us in undeniable ways.
